GPS Waypoints Overview

nicFW can store up to 99 pre-programmed locations, referred to as Waypoints. Waypoints may be used to:

  • Save locations while navigating
  • Set navigation target locations
  • Spoof GPS coordinates

Waypoint #99 is reserved as the default spoofed location when the radio is powered on with GPS functionality disabled.

(default key: SP-7).

Each waypoint entry displays:

  • Waypoint number
